Re:Ask HN: Developer abused “sign in with GitHub”? by prepend on Monday December 12, 2022 @07:20AM (#33953911)
All oauth tokens are authorized by users. So GitHub sees the app and sees the users who authorized the app. Users are responsible for all the bots that act in their names.

Otherwise it would be quite simple to write a malbot and then claim innocence because it was the bot doing it, not me.

I think the approach to automation is best when the authority and responsibility always ties back to an individual or group.
